Klang: The state may require pet owners to apply for cat licences as too many stray felines are now roaming the streets.
"We are looking into the possibility for cats to be licensed, like dogs," said Selangor executive councillor Dr Xavier Jayakumar.
This was because local councils and the veterinary department have received complaints of stray cats raiding trash-bins and even entering kitchen looking for food, said Dr Xavier at a pet owners' forum at the Klang Municipal Council (MPK) on Saturday.
The state is also standardising the application process and fees for pet licenses across all local councils, he added.
He urged pet owners to be more responsible by spaying and neutering their pets. Owners should also not abandon their pets.
